What's the best strategy from here. I'm ba gold but using my AA exec plat for the booking. Should I call the gold line and try and get on alternate flights? I don't see much if any availability in business on other flights. Will ba re book me automatically? I booked through their website

Even if I get to london tomorrow the issue is then getting on the next flight. Any advice appreciated as to what to do.

MMB will have alternate options for you. Some of those may be to your liking or may not be the best available option. You should be able to call the Gold line since it's a BA ticket, although they may need to wait until the flight is cancelled to actually act.
